I had to buy a gallon of that a few weeks ago. It drank it all! It holds more than the .08 gallons they claim.  But, I drove right by every gas station today. |

I started with the dinky wall charger until I could get the better one installed. I only use the Tesla charging stations for out of state trips. |

Shit be far apart. supercharging is painless the supercharger knows who you are so you just park and plug in, whatever card you have on file with tesla gets charged you won't be halfway through looking at shit by the end of both sessions. i spent my first session watching the tutorial videos, which is what allowed me to know how to turn on cruise control for the second half |

Something that was posted….. Model Y Performance Power Bump: Leaked vehicle certification filings from July 2026 confirm that the 2027 Model Y Performance is receiving a substantial powertrain upgrade. It replaces the current motor layout with a 176 kW front motor (up from 158 kW) and a new 291 kW "TL2" rear motor, pushing real-world net output closer to 600 horsepower. To support this power, it sits approximately half an inch lower than standard trims and features a staggered 21-inch wheel setup (255/35R21 front, 275/35R21 rear). |
|
And another Faster 2027 Model Y Performance refresh sends more power to the front wheels After the so-called Model Y Juniper facelift, Tesla is now preparing another mid-cycle refresh for the fastest version of its most popular electric vehicle. The updated Model Y Performance SUV may first launch in China and then be rolled out globally. Daniel Zlatev, Published 07/10/2026 • = .. E-Mobility We have driven the Juniper AWD and know that this will be our next vehicle |

kinky, i like it what i'd most like to see is a camber change on the rear wheels, but i've seen enough lawyer advertisements about it that i'm sure it's coming i've got a mind to trade in my performance before it hits 50,000 on a regular premium awd, my wife took the car over anyway and i don't think she'd miss the extra half second 0-60 |

| Congrats on the new ride! Honestly, you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who's owned one and actually used FSD that doesn't end up loving it. I've known several people who were completely against the idea of owning a Tesla or "giving up control," but changed their minds pretty quickly after experiencing it firsthand and seeing just how advanced the technology really is. |
It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather, we should thank God that such men lived.
